Anybody can use them- no matter your orientation or persuasion, but Arnprior Pflag will be asking Town Council for its approval on two coloured crosswalks for the community at Monday’s upcoming municipal meeting.
Spokesperson Sophie Smith-Dore says the Rainbow crosswalk will be more familiar to residents, who may have seen one in nearby Carleton Place, but a trans-gendered crosswalk would speak volumes on the issue of acceptance.
The proposed Rainbow and trans crosswalks would be situated at prominent locations in downtown Arnprior.
Pflag has been fundraising for the initiative, which would not be undertaken on the Town’s dime.
A staff report on the logistics of implementing the crosswalk proposals is being prepared for elected representatives’ consideration June 14th.
